I built my first PC a few months back on a budget, using an MSI Z270 motherboard with an i5 7600k. A friend gifted me an Nvidia RTX 4060, which has been great, but I'm facing stutters and freezes in games like Fortnite and Warzone even on low settings. I'm looking to upgrade my CPU to something that can handle gaming and streaming through OBS. I've done some research and found options like the i7 7700k, but I'm unsure about the best CPU for my setup. What do you recommend?

To see a real performance boost, you might need to consider a complete system upgrade, including a new motherboard and possibly RAM. What's your budget for this upgrade?
I'm looking at a new motherboard that supports Gen 11/12 CPUs along with other parts for a full build, but for now, I just want to upgrade the CPU on my current board. My budget for a CPU upgrade is between $50 and $100.
